She's not had the best of luck on screen or off when it comes to the men in her life, but actress Natalie Cassidy seems to found love again.

The EastEnders star has been dating BBC cameraman Marc Humphreys for around two months and appears to be happier than ever.

Pals say Natalie, 30, and Marc, 28, have been growing increasingly close and have been seen out together with Natalie’s daughter Eliza, four.

Natalie – who split from fiance Adam Cottrell in December – took to Twitter on Friday to say: “Roll on the weekend. Can’t wait to spend time with the people I love most.”

Marc was seen leaving her home in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, on Sunday with an overnight bag and leaving on Thursday afternoon.

And according to other tweets posted by Natalie, who has played unlucky-in-love Sonia Jackson since she was a child, life is “magical”. One said: “To be completely content in this world is the most magical thing.”

A source close to Natalie, who has also been in Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother, said: “It is still fairly new with Marc as they’ve only been seeing each other for a couple of months but they are both delighted with the way things are going.

“Natalie wants to take things slowly as Eliza is her priority, but can’t believe how great Marc is with her. Her friends and family are really pleased for her. It’s time she had luck where boyfriends are concerned.”

Marc has worked as a freelance camerman for the BBC since 2004, including spells on the hit soap. Natalie finally ended her three-year on-off relationship with Adam after getting back together with him even though he had admitted assaulting her.
